Inn Break
Right then! That is it from this game. The next one is a must win for Zimbabwe and they have to come up with better plans. The second ODI is on 31st August at 5.10 am IST (11.40 pm GMT, the previous day). Do join us for the build up as well. Cheers!
Cameron Green is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his maiden five-wicket haul. Green says he needed to realize what the wicket is doing and then bowl accordingly. Adds he wanted to hit the back of the length area and it worked. Informs he enjoys fishing over golf.
Regis Chakabva, the skipper of Zimbabwe says he felt the wicket was tricky, they though did not have enough on the board. Mentions they did not finish well with the bat and with the ball, the start was not that great. Ends by saying they need to work on the positives and hope to do well in the next game.
Aaron Finch, the skipper of Australia says the ball was doing a bit throughout and they finished well with the ball. Mentions the preparation is same against every team and they were well prepared for this game. Reckons Mitchell Starc is one of the best bowlers in the world and his contribution has been exceptional and Green was outstanding and it is great he got a fifer.
...Presentation coming up...
Earlier, Zimbabwe were bundled out to an under-par score thanks to Cameron Green's fifer and Adam Zampa's three wickets. Australia fancied a win and in the end, they won comfortably by 5 wickets.
Zimbabwe can be pleased with how they bowled! Especially Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl who were outstanding. The latter ended with three and gave Zimbabwe the slightest of chances. However, they just did not have enough on the board.
Then the Aussie batters batted with intent. Steven Smith was the anchor and the others played their shots. There were a couple of decent innings with David Warner's fifty giving the perfect start but Smith was the mainstay with a half ton. There was a period when Australia might have felt a little pressure when they lost three quickly but Glenn Maxwell and Steven Smith ensured no more wickets fell and took their side over the line.
A comfortable win in the end for the hosts and they go 1-0 up in the three-match series! The victory however was set up in the first innings itself as Cameron Green's fifer saw Zimbabwe being bundled out for a low score.

Tossed up, around off. Warner pushes it to covers.
To walk or not? What does Adam Gilchrist think about this? Thoughts go back to that 2003 World Cup semifinal against Sri Lanka, where the umpire did not give him out, yet he walked. In this rare, very rare scenario, Warner thought he was out and started to walk back before the official decision could be given. But then, when he realized that technology was not ready to deprive Aussie fans of a Warner blitzkrieg, he walked back to the crease. Now, the question to be asked here is - If Davey felt he was out, why did he do a U-turn? Might be interesting to see what he actually said to Regis Chakabva, the Zimbabwe keeper. Chakabva was all smiles and one could actually see Warner mouthing - ' I HEARD A NOISE.' So, just to give, say 5 percent benefit of doubt, DW did not think he edged it. He just felt that there was a noise and there was no other place from where it could come, apart from the outside edge. My eyesight is not the best but a look the replays does suggest that there was a deviation, along with the noise. Don't think there was turn. The argument will go on regarding the spirit of cricket but if there is something called as Lady Luck, it is surely smiling on Warner.

Sikandar Raza To David Warner
A huge appeal for caught behind and the finger stays down. The keeper, Regis Chakabva is convinced and takes it upstairs. There is definitely a noise when the ball goes past the bat and the replay seems to show a deflection. In fact, DAVID WARNER IS WALKING BACK. But hang on. Drama! Hot Spot shows NOTHING. Time for Snicko and that shows nothing either! Boy o boy. What does Warner do now? Does he continue walking? No, he is ready to accept the new elixir of life. He is walking back to the crease, with a sheepish smile. The Zimbabwe players are in disbelief. Technology doesn't show the same thing. Well, not out it is!

Drinks! Australia have done well in the first hour of the chase! They have lost Finch but nothing worrying since then. Smith and Warner look calm and looks like an easy win for the hosts from here on. Still, a long way to go and Zimbabwe need to be sharper and need wickets to make things interesting. Also, Sikandar Raza is into the attack.
